WEBVTT MONTGOMERY LAWMAKER ALVIN HOLMES WANTS IT REMOVED RIGHT OFF THE SHOULDERS OF STATE POLICE. TAKE IT OFF, WE DON T NEED THAT FELLOW DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKER JOHN ROGERS ECHOES THE CALL. IF YOU WANT TO FLY IT, FLY IT AT YOUR HOUSE, IN YOUR YARD, ON YOUR TRUCK, BUT DON T PUT IT ON SOMETHING THAT SERVES YOUR PUBLIC. THE EMBLEM ON THE PATCH IS T ALABAMA COAT OF ARMS. IT WAS CREATED IN 1939 AND BEARS THE FLAGS OF EVERY GOVERNMENT THAT S RULED THE STATE. FRANCE, SPAIN, GREAT BRITAIN, THE U-S AND THE CONFEDERACY. WEDNESDAY REPRESENTATIVE HOLMES SENT A LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR, ASKING HIM TO STEP IN. TO IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE CONFEDERATE FLAG FROM TROOPERS VEHICLES AND UNIFORMS WOULD REQUIRE AN EXECUTIVE ORDER FROM THE GOVERNOR. GOVERNOR BENTLEY S OFFICE SAYS HE HAS NO PLANS TO DO THAT. IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE STATE TROOPERS OFFICE IN BIRMINGHAM, CITIZENS HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ON THE CONFEDERAT FLAG... AND ITS PLACE ON POLICE. I DON T THINK THAT IT S A RACIAL THING, I THINK IT S PART OF SOUTHERN HERITAGE. I M OFFENDED EVERYTIME I SEE IT. DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS SAY THIS BATTLE IS NOT OVER.
